Curtis Mayfield Freddies Dead Lyrics

Freddies Dead Lyrics

Hey Hey - Love Love - Yeh Yeh - Ah Ha

Freddies dead, thats what i said.

Let the man read, the plan, said it singing home

But his home was a
rope and he should've known.

Everybody's misused him, ripped him up and
abused him.

Another junkie plan, pushin' dope for the man.

A
terrible blow, but thats how it goes. 

A freddies on the corner now. 

If you wanna be a junkie wow. 

Remember freddies dead. 

We're
all built up with progress 

But sometimes i must confess. 

We can
deal with rockets and dreams 

But reality, what does it mean?

Ain't
nothing said, cause freddies dead.

Hey Hey-Love Love-Ha Ha-Love Love-He
Hey-Ha Ha-Yeh Yeh

Freddies dead

All i want is some peace of mind

With a little love i'm trying to find.

This could be such a beautiful
world, with a wonderful girl.

I need a woman child. Don't wanna be like
freddie now.

Cause freddies dead

Everybody's misused him, ripped
him up and abused him.

Another junkie plan, pushin' dope for the man.

A freddies on the corner now.

If you wanna be a junkie why, remember
freddies dead.

Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha freddies dead

Hey Hey - Ha Ha - Love
Love - Ha Ha
